An Evening with Chuck Hutchison: Talk and Wine Tasting

Please join us for a special evening of conversation, wine, and fellowship with Chuck Hutchison, author of Getting My Hands Dirty: A Memoir of Resilience and Transformation from the Gridiron to the Garden.

Drawing on a remarkable journey that has taken him from a dairy farm in Ohio to championship football at Ohio State, to seven seasons in the NFL, to a successful business career, and to the creation of a Smithsonian-recognized garden, Hutchinson will share reflections on resilience, transformation, and purposeful living.

In his candid and inspiring memoir, Hutchinson recounts lessons learned under legendary coach Woody Hayes, the challenges of professional sports, family and personal struggles, and the unexpected path that led him to become an expert gardener. Through it all, he discovered the guiding principles of curiosity, confidence, and conviction that helped shape his life and career.
